Summary:
The Hallettsville Independent School District (Isd) is a small, unified district in Texas serving 1,176 students across three schools: Hallettsville Elementary (PK-4), Hallettsville J H (5-8), and Hallettsville High School (9-12), earning a strong 4-star rating and ranking in the 87th percentile statewide.
Hallettsville Elementary is the district's standout performer, consistently scoring well above state averages in both Reading and Math, particularly in 4th Grade Math where proficiency reached 66.27% versus the state's 49.28%. Hallettsville J H excels in advanced coursework, achieving a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the Algebra I End-of-Course exam, and also shines in 8th Grade Math (75.28% vs. 47.24% state). However, it shows variability, with 7th Grade Math (31.43%) and 8th Grade Social Studies (27.27%) near or below state averages. Hallettsville High School has made a dramatic comeback, jumping from the 58th to the 73rd percentile in two years, boasting a 97.2% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, though it struggles with Algebra I (39.22% proficiency).
A key finding is the "Algebra I pipeline" disconnect: while the middle school achieves 100% proficiency in advanced Algebra I, the high school's overall rate drops sharply, likely because the middle school tests a small, selected group while the high school includes all 9th graders. The district's elementary math foundation is a clear strength, and the high school's upward trajectory is promising. With moderate economic disadvantage (~34%) and efficient spending, the district achieves strong results, though uneven performance in middle school subjects suggests areas for targeted improvement.
